Tasmania 4-Day Loop: Cradle Mountain, Bay of Fires & Wineglass Bay★★★★★★★★★★ 4.99 (160)4dYou spend four days in a small group looping Tasmania from Hobart, staying in comfortable cabins and lodges rather than hostels. You hike Cradle Mountain spotting wombats, walk the Bay of Fires beaches between orange-lichen boulders, watch Tasmanian Devils feed at a sanctuary, and climb to Wineglass Bay on the final day. Accommodation, meals, park entry, wildlife sanctuary entry and transport are all included; you just show up at pickup.Is it for me?Right for anyone wanting to see Tasmania's main landscapes and wildlife in one trip without arranging separate transport, park tickets and accommodation — the fixed itinerary and small group size mean you move through four distinct regions in four days without the logistics falling on you.Free cancellationTravelers' pickfromAU$ 1,045View ›

2 Day Cradle Mountain Tour from Hobart: Wombats & Alpine Hiking★★★★★★★★★★ 5.00 (19)2dA two-day Cradle Mountain tour from Hobart with accommodation, transport and park entry included takes you through Mount Field National Park and into the Cradle Mountain wilderness on small group departures of no more than thirteen people. Day one crosses the west coast through rainforests and past Russell Falls, with a stop at the historical mining town of Queenstown; day two offers a choice of two hikes at Cradle Mountain—the easy Dove Lake Circuit or the more demanding Marions Lookout—before returning to Hobart via the Central Highlands. Wombats, platypus, echidnas and wallabies appear regularly along the route.Is it for me?Choose the Dove Lake Circuit if you want a full day of hiking without steep elevation gain, or pick Marions Lookout if you're comfortable with a more demanding climb and want the higher views—both fit inside the same two-day schedule, so the choice is yours on the morning of day two.Free cancellationfromAU$ 445View ›

Cradle Mountain Day Tour: Dove Lake Walks from Hobart★★★★★★★★★★ 4.75 (16)11hThis one-way day tour departs Hobart, spends 3.5 hours exploring Cradle Mountain National Park on foot—including the Dove Lake circuit and Enchanted Forest walks among 4,000-year-old King Billy Pines—then continues to Launceston. A local guide, park entry and air-conditioned transport are included; the tour runs 11 hours total with a break in Campbell Town and a stop in Sheffield to see the town's murals.Is it for me?Book this tour if you're traveling between Hobart and Launceston and want to spend a full morning and afternoon on Cradle Mountain's walks instead of rushing through. The one-way format means you don't backtrack, and the 3.5 hours at the park gives you real time to walk, not just a photo stop.Free cancellationLikely to sell outfromAU$ 275View ›
